Dan still knew who he was, with no thoughts to fit his form just yet. However, he did not even think about complaining about his current situation as Kat would probably just make it worse for him. His only option, at this very moment, was to play along. Deeply blushing beneath his thin golden face fur, he cautiously took a few steps outside the dressing room, in full view of all the people there. His mother looked as if nothing was up, and just remarked how good the pants looked on him. Was she playing along too or just manipulated by Kat? Or perhaps she was even the initiator of this whole plan? His mother paid for the pants and they went home, Dan finding it very hard not to say anything. Back in the car on the way home, he uncomfortably looked at the length of his tail shuffling and occasionally thumping against the rest of the back seat next to him.
When they got home, they went inside and mom gestured for Kat and Dan to sit down. "Katherine", she said, "you've always expressed a strong desire to have children but I'm doubting your readiness to handle such things. Later on, perhaps even in a few years already, you'll be facing this task for real so you had better know what you're doing. As such, I've allowed you to practice with your brother...", she glanced at Dan, "...you may customize him as you wish, just keep him well cared for. I grant you parental authority over him, and should you have any problems, just come to me. I'm sure I'll be able to help."
Dan had been listening with pounding heart and couldn't believe what he was hearing. He was supposed to obey this witch? He let out a whining "Mommmm..." to voice his displeasure, which briefly revealed his cub fangs, to which Kat simply answered:"Yes, darling?"
He was in worse shape than he had thought if she actually had authority over him.
